\u201cWhen we sent out the information for creditors to send their information to us, we were collating the numbers and the quantity of how much DKM owed, what we will distribute will be determined by the outcome\u2026 I believe the number of people affected is within the region of 7000 people,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
On when the Registrar General\u2019s Department will be able to complete the process of liquidating, Nana Ama Akyiaa Prempeh was however hopeful that it will be completed within the next six weeks,<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026We are winding up the company and as part of the process, we are collating the numbers and the quantity of how much DKM owed. We have found out those who sent us their information as at the cut- off date. We are now collating the information to determine the extent of indebtedness. We are hopeful that in about six weeks we probably would have finished,\u201d the Chief Attorney further added.<\/p>\n
